Growing gardens

Article Abstract:

The Oakland Elementary School in South Carolina has come up with a unique project that helps their children feel one with nature, as they allow their kids to actually get their hands all dirty and plant more trees in the garden. The school authorities feel that this method of using the garden to teach their kids science will actually help kids increase their knowledge about the subject especially since they learn all about how to plant seeds, and how to nurture plants.
